Holds on Your Account

Review Your Holds

Log in to R’Web to view any holds you may have, their description, and who to contact to resolve the hold. You will receive an information box when you first log into R’Web and then you can revisit your active holds by selecting the “Holds” icon:
Understand Reasons for Holds

Holds on your account can occur for many reasons including failure to submit final, official academic transcripts, failure to comply with vaccination and immunization requirements, or failure to complete required training courses for students. It is very important to ensure that all holds on your account are removed before registration opens in August so that you will be able to register for your classes on time.

Please note that Academic Advisors can not remove required training, health/vaccination, admissions, business, or documents holds. You must work with the office that placed the hold.

To read more about holds, please visit:
registrar.ucr.edu/registering/holds
